List of German supercentenarians

Edelgard Huber von Gersdorff (1905–2018) was one of the oldest Germans ever recorded. At age 112, she was part of an awareness campaign for the EU's 112 emergency number.

As of January 2015, the Gerontology Research Group (GRG) had validated the longevity claims of 59 German citizens who have become "supercentenarians", attaining or surpassing 110 years of age. 49 of these were German residents and 10 were emigrants.[1] There are currently at least five Germans known to be alive over age 110. The oldest of them is Ilse Meingast, born on 14 March 1912, aged 112 years, 228 days. Augusta Holtz, an emigrant to the United States, remains the oldest German citizen whose age has been verified: she lived 115 years, 79 days, from 1871 to 1986.[2][3]
